Awakened Heart Women's Winter Retreat

Join Brandy and Lily for an intimate women's retreat this winter on the Pacific Coast of Mexico.

Guided by Brandy Wade and Lily Russo, this retreat is an invitation to return to your divine essence and true wild nature. Through the medicine of the ocean, movement, breath, prayer, ritual, nourishment, and deep listening, we will cultivate safety to open the parts of us that are ready to awaken, and remember our connection to the beauty and sacredness of life. 

The ocean will be our teacher and companion—inviting us into rhythm, surrender, cleansing, and renewal. Through prayer, we will cultivate a relationship with the Divine within and without, discovering how prayer can become a living technology woven into our everyday lives.

We will explore the art of ritual and intention setting, creating meaningful practices that help us listen inwardly, honor what is emerging, and bring our deepest intentions into lived experience.

Our intention for this time together is rooted in the true sense of the word retreat, meaning to draw back from the front lines of our daily lives to create space for reflection, reconnection, and rejuvenation.

In this space, we can recognize and let go of habitual defenses, tension, and the superficial mental chatter that occupies most of our days. This allows us to reconnect to the inner loving essence of our hearts and the brilliant creativity and healing power of our divine feminine nature. 

At Yandara, our lodging, practice space, dining area and free time are all held on the shores of the great Pacific Ocean. Our time together will be inspired by the water's soft power and its inherently feminine nature. And because Yandara has been a yogic community for over 23 years, we will also feel held and supported by the intentional and loving space they have cultivated there.
